For nearly ten years, Tanna and Matthew were just one degree apart, circling the same friends but never quite crossing paths. Then, at just the right time, life brought them together. Tanna had sworn off dating and decided she’d get a Doodle instead. Meanwhile, Matt had just stepped back into the dating world—and had coincidentally gotten a Sheepadoodle of his own, Ragu. One night, they both found themselves at Market, the hottest bar in Venice, with mutual friends. Sparks flew, and their first official date followed soon after: what was supposed to be a short beach walk, stretched into five miles and ended with dinner at Blue Plate Oysterette. After a few months of Tanna “pretending” to live in Orange County while spending nearly every night at Matt’s place, she finally moved in for good. She may have set out for only a doodle, but God gave her a husband too.
